They won\u2019t try to take over and do everything for you \u2013 it\u2019s about working with you to enhance your life and routines and keeping you in control.\r\n\r\nHelping Hands uses the term \u2018lifestyle assistants\u2019 or \u2018personal assistants\u2019 rather than carers, which more accurately describes their role is.\r\n\r\nIt also allows you to feel more comfortable when referring to them with friends or family. And assistants are very much what they are \u2013 assisting you to live independently in a way that is meaningful and dignified.\r\n\r\nKeeping you safe and well<\/strong>\r\n\r\nHelping Hands takes a holistic approach to support, meaning that your personal assistant won\u2019t just help you with physical tasks like cooking and cleaning, but be there to support you emotionally and spiritually too.\r\n\r\nCooking and meal preparation<\/em>\r\n\r\nIf cooking is your passion but you\u2019re just too tired to make your favourite meals by yourself, a lifestyle assistant will help you create healthy, tasty meals in your kitchen, as well as taking care of the washing up and tidying away. Or if cooking has never been one of your more favoured pastimes, let your assistant know exactly what you\u2019d like to eat, and he\/she will prepare it for you.\r\n\r\nHousekeeping<\/em>\r\n\r\nWhether you have a set way that you like your clothes laundered or there\u2019s a particular day in the week when you like to change your bed sheets, your assistant will help you with these tasks, doing as little or as much as you require. This service also includes vacuuming, dusting, washing the dishes, laundry, taking out the bins and cleaning.\r\n\r\nShopping and running errands<\/em>\r\n\r\nYou may like to mix having home deliveries with popping to the shops yourself to hand pick the freshest fruit and vegetables. Or you might be quite happy to allow your personal assistant to shop for you\u00a0and run any other errands<\/a> you might have, such as collecting dry cleaning or picking up your prescription.\r\n\r\nAppointments and leaving your home<\/em>\r\n\r\nPerhaps you\u2019ve decided that driving isn\u2019t for you anymore or you simply like someone to accompany you when you leave the house if you have certain anxieties. Your assistant can take you to doctors and hospital appointments, dental surgeries or even your hairdresser \u2013 wherever it is you need to be, they can help you to get there safely. They\u2019ll even pop out with you for a slice of cake at your favourite cafe or drop you off to visit a friend or relative.\r\n\r\nCompanionship and wellness<\/em>\r\n\r\nMaintaining your mental health is just as important as your physical health particularly if you are living alone or don\u2019t have family close by. Your assistant will be there to help with any hobbies, exercise or pastimes that you want to keep up with. Helping Hands can provide you with a friendly face you can rely on and build a rapport with.\r\n\r\nOther services from Helping Hands<\/strong>\r\n\r\nHelping Hands also offers home care services<\/a> for those requiring more support such as personal care, medication and mobility.
